When the unusual eventualities they have rehearsed using imagery occur, they have good, pre-prepared, habitual responses to them.Imagery also allows you to pre-experience achievement of your goals, helping to give you the self-confidence you need to do something well. This is another technique used by successful athletes.

It all starts in your brain…that’s the point of mental or NeuroFitness training to “Unlock Your Brain’s Potential” and I’m here to share with YOU all the tools I have learned!

In my next post, I’ll share with you a response that came in from another colleague about what can happen to you physically with continued rehearsal of negative thoughts and imagery…
